 When Blurt is enabled (indicated with &#x1E04; in the top bar), one can input text from speech into any editable field (such as the text editor in the screencast below). This is done by pressing a key combination (<CTRL+ALT+a> is the default), triggering a speech recognizer process that records a speech clip from the microphone, transcribes it with whisper.cpp and sends the result to the PRIMARY selection or Clipboard under X11 or Wayland.
 When recording speech, a microphone indicator appears in the top bar and the color of the extension indicator &#x1E04; becomes yellow.
